Turned 23 in September, all I wanted to do was have fun instead of family reunions so I went to the museum, acted like a kid, took selfies with the dinosaurs and got stared at by some really judgmental children when i crawled in the archaeology pit to take another selfie...I guess 23 year olds cant hang with the club...

I was greatly surprised at how well done this small museum is. It has a wonderful dinosaur diorama that even has a T-Rex that roars!
A special exhibit on rattler snakes found mostly napping snakes curled up against the windows.
Definitely worth seeing!

Fascinating museum about marine dinosaurs that inhabited a great inland sea millions of years ago in the mid section of America. Yes, Kansas was once undersea during the age of dinosaurs, and there has been a lot of fossil evidence discovered. Beautiful facility, which is very geared for kids, as well as adults.
A wonderful stopping point along Interstate 70...

We will plan...

We spent about two hours (no crowds) walking around and looking at the all the exhibits. The most exciting (and surprising) exhibit is the Rattlers, which contained about 20 or so different LIVE rattlesnakes from around the entire US...

This was really impressive. The museum features tons of animal and plant fossils. Includes a life size display of Dinosaurs from the ocean to land that you walk through. The T-rex even moves which we found fun and my 5 yo loved. There is a live rattle snake exhibit displaying all the different rattlesnakes in North America. Great to look...
